Ground-based mobile exploratory platform for in situ reactive trace gases (under development).
Waiting for budget approval to be able to fulfill the minimum NF requirements.

The mobile facility aims at performing reactive trace gas measurements at locations which are not covered by the ACTRIS observational facilities or near/at observational facilities which lack instrumentation for online VOC measurements at high temporal resolution.
The scientific scope of the facility is to contribute to a better understanding of the processes affecting atmospheric composition (atmospheric oxidation, ecosystem/atmosphere exchange) through VOC and NOx measurements in a wide range of environments and weather conditions, and finally to better constrain (O)VOC budgets.
